Abstract
Analytical study of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been carried out with respect to international
methodological criteria in the Ulyanovsk region; 127 pairs of MS patients were examined (81%
female). The study shows that general MS risk factors for the taken population are: prolonged
work with computer equipment, living near to construction materials production facilities
under the age of 15, chronic herpes infection for all age categories, chronic bacterial infections
(tonsillitis, sinusitis, abscesses) preceding to MS development, head injuries without loss of
conscience under the age of 15 and prolonged contact with home animals for patients over
the age of 15.
